At present I have an electric shower. This is not working well as the mains pressure is reduced to my prpoerty due to demand by other neighbouring houses that use same mains supply. I thought of installing an electric pump to boost the mains inflow but felt the demand by other local uses will still affect my result? I am contemplating using the gravity fed low pressure hot and cold water system in my house (there is readily available hot water in my house). Is it better to have a power shower or and or do I use a mixer shower. From what I understand mixer showers have a separet pump that is installed outside of the shower cubicle. What do you suggest? Many thanks for all your advice.
I understand that Power showers give much greater force(up to 14 lit per min) than a Mixer shower. My 3rd option .... would it be a good idea to add a pump between the existing electric shower and the cold storage tank? Many thanks for all your ideas...
See oour projects section and look at choosing a shower. Pumping water into an electric shower will kill it. They can only heat the water at a certain rate so it does not matter how fast you pump it in it wont flow any faster.
I am now thinking of installing a power shower such as the Gainsborough that uses a 12v supply. Are there any drawbacks to uses this power source rather than 240v?
:D :D :D :D
Have decided not to have any form of electric showers......
I have raised my cold storage tank in the loft by 1.74 Metres....
The pressure is heavenly.......
Everyone should do it.....
